XR300 Geofilter not working as expected

Hi all,

 

I am trying to use the geofilter on xr300. Obviously a bit tricky to understand as most things just say nil instead of an actual name for setting. I have tried to follow guides here to set up but it still connects to servers outside of my set range. Can anyone advise on how to set up properly? Image attached.

  • Can only see one picture currently until it's moderated but please do the following:

    Quit the application/game/client completely
    Remove device from the Geo-Filter
    Give PC PlayStation Device Type in the Device Manager (if on PC)
    Resync from the Geo-Filter Map menu
    Re-add the device to the Geo-Filter with the manual option
    Set up the Geo-Filter how you like
    Wait 2 minutes
    Boot up application/game/client
    Then see if it works.

      Hi, thanks for suggestion but no change in behaviour. I am going to pick up an xr500 today to try out so maybe that will work.

        Did you change the PC to a PlayStation so when you add it back to the Geo-Filter it adds with the console service? As that will filter better. Let us know how you get on!
